Skechers Shape Ups Exercise Shoe Video
We’d all love to be able to get a good workout just by walking. Skechers claims with its new Skechers Shape Ups that you can improve posture, tone muscles, and lose weight just by walking.
The shoes were designed to stimulate walking on soft ground. This forces you to use muscles that you do not usually use when walking. I can definitely say that running on sand in Florida was much different than running at home in Indiana. But does it make a difference in how much you tone your muscles?
We’ve seen a couple of different shoes come out that claim to improve your leg muscles more than regular shoes. I will say for the Skechers ones that they are at least cute! They come in flip flops, Mary Janes, and sneakers. Sizes are somewhat limited at this point, so you will have to check back frequently to find the kind you want in your size. They are a little expensive (although not compared to other comparable shoes), so you will want to check out the Sunshine Rewards Skechers coupons and cash back.
Here’s a video for more information about the Skechers Shape Ups:

I purchased shoes because I wanted to lose a little weight, shape up my legs and improve my posture.
When I tried them on they felt a little strange, I think it was due to the shape of the shoe. I also expreienced another sensation, they were SO COMFORTABLE!!!! Just like walking on CLOUDS!!! Like Dawn, I wore mine right out of the store and have not worn another shoe since buying them 2 months ago. I have lost 16 lbs and have slimmed down one dress size, I say thats really good for doing no more than just walking (I eat a little more salad as opposed to eating dessert).
These shoes are wonderful and worth every penny, even if they never help anyone lose weight they are EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE!!!
I am a walking advertisement for Skechers and recomend these shoes all the time.
Now I’m looking for some money from the skechers folks for all the advertisment that I am doing!!!!
I purchased a pair about 2 weeks ago. I read where you only wear them for about 20 minutes and gradually work up. The day I got home I wore them for over 2 hours, then I sit down to read about them. So I only wore them about 1-2 hours for the first week then up to 1/2 day the second week gradually working up and this week 8-9 hours a day. YES, they do tone something because I am sore from my buttocks down. Not showing any weight loss yet, but hopefully. I did not buy them for the weight loss or exercise. My feet and legs hurt all the time and I though the cushion on them would be great. I would like to know if Joe has lost any weight , my husband is a big man also and he needs to loose some weight. Also had Joe’s wife lost any more? Thanks
I am skeptical about the shape-up shoe by sketcher. Anyone out there that has at least one month of use?
i just bought a pair today. as soon as i put them on, i didn’t take them off–even walked out of the store with them on…and walked from manhattan, across the bridge into brooklyn (like i often do on the way home from work)
and yes, they’re right–i feel it. i even feel it in my abs, which is amazing.
they feel so good to walk in, and they will totally help me with all of the walking i do here in the big apple.
the money for this shoe is worth it–i’m just wondering how long they will last–i hope they hold up for a long time.
and truth be told, i want more designs to choose from–like a stylish boot or nice feminine sandal that i could actually wear with a dress.
(please try some of these other design suggestions–so i can be totally comfy due to maintaining the proper posture and be more versitile in my footwear options.)
keep bringing it, sketchers!!
MY WIFE LOST 6#IN TWO MONTHS JUST WALKING AROUND IN THE SHAPE UP SHOE.I HAVE A PAIR ON ORDER I AM VERY OVER WEIGHT AT 330# AND CAN NOT SEEM TO DIET.I HOPE THESE SHOES HELP ME START LOSING.I DO ALOT OF WALKING SO IF I LOSE 30# IN 10 MONTHS I WILL BE HAPPY.
These look really cute and comfortable. I may just have to consider these. I am so not a shoe person, but these just might fit what I’m needing.
